Brekan 3 and 4 months!

My biggest apologies to Brekan for not taking the time last month to blog about all his new tricks...so he gets months 3 and 4 combined into one post.

Our Little B isn't so little anymore! He is growing like a weed, has the chubbiest cheeks and thighs, and the most adorable smile! At his 4 month check up today he weighed 18.6 pounds (96 %), was 25.5 inches (66 %), and has a 17 inch head circumference (78 %).

 3 months!

4 months!

We are so blessed that Brekan is an "easy" baby. He really doesn't get upset unless he need to burp, is hungry, or gets scared by Harley barking unexpectedly or by his daddy blowing on his back! However, we have noticed that this little guy doesn't sleep in the car very well. He will take shorter naps, but not long ones (bummer!).

Brekan now sleeps through the night (which he has been doing since a short time after my 2 month blog post on him). He goes to bed around 8/8:30 and is up around 7....YAY!

Brekan enjoys standing most of the time. He does okay on his back, but he would rather sit up or stand. It makes him so happy and he loves to look around!

Brekan is ALMOST rolling from back to tummy - he can get all the way on his side, but then stops to suck on his hand. He LOVES to suck on his thumb (which mommy doesn't care for at all!). He is doing okay with tummy time - he's not that great at pushing himself up yet, but that is probably my fault for not putting him on his stomach enough. Poor baby, I feel like he doesn't get enough attention from me because I'm having to play with Coleman too (mommy guilt story for another post, this is something I'm struggling with a lot!).

Brekan LOVES his little rooster toy, and as of yesterday, he loves his Sophie Giraffe (Thanks Uncle Cory and Aunt Tracey!). Both of these squeak which he thinks is really cool, and he's now starting to put his toys in his mouth. He love to look at himself in the mirror and laugh.

Bathtime is another favorite of Little B. He has recently discovered how to splash and kick so bath time is much more exciting now.

B's newest talent is that he has found his voice - a high pitch squeal to bless our home with and we love it! Sometimes it sounds like he's upset, but if you watch him, he's busy smiling while he's doing it. So precious! He discovered his voice at my parents house at the beginning of June while visiting my grandmom. This was Brekan's first time meeting his great grandmom and I'm so glad they got to spend a whole week together!

For the last 2 months Justin has enjoyed doing his cool "trick" with Brekan. He did this with Coleman when he was the same age (well, probably a little older), but since Brekan is baby #2 he thought he'd try a little earlier, and we have another strong baby on our hands and a happy daddy that he can scare people with his clever trick!

He loves his big brother and enjoys watching everything he does too. Coleman has gone from calling him "de-teh" to what now sounds like "Drekan" hehe. Sometimes he can actually say 'Brekan' which is fun too!
